The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and prove by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable araily medicine on earth, many imitations •.pruug up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people oi the country tad expressed the merits of H. 8., and in very way trying to induce suderi.ig invalids o use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit ana gcad name of H. B. i Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe hey were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their -style or name is, and especially those with the word “Hop” or “Hops” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits, Beyare of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white hibel, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imita thins 6 counterfeits.
